The Football League are refusing to allow Rangers to register new players until they repay a £500,000 loan from Oldham chairman Simon Blitz - there is understood to be £300,000 left. Rangers announced the signings of Walton from Charlton for £200,000 and Camp from Derby for £300,000 last week. But the transfers are yet to be ratified by the League who will block any move to play them in the Championship. Daily Mail
